Eight Arms

The single-digit damage numbers dealt tons of damage to Zhao Jun's heart. If he hadn't been a soldier, this one setback alone would have made him drop his weapon on the spot.

This was way too absurd!!! He was a dual-wielding warrior who had abandoned defense to wield two-handed weapons! They were clearly the same level, yet he was far inferior to Big Shot Li in both defense and attack.

This! Eh...

"Bro, move!"

After chanting for two seconds, a huge fireball flew out of the Meteor Staff and shot toward the Kobold Squad Leader, which was protected by layers of heavy armor.

[-350!]

The charged Fireball dealt terrifying damage. No matter how high the heavy-armored kobold's defense was, it still couldn't withstand such powerful spell damage!

"Gaoo!!!"

The huge fireball scorched the pure-metal heavy armor. As it dealt damage, it also inflicted the Kobold Squad Leader with the negative status effect of Burning.

The squad leader's eyes, twisted with pain, suddenly turned toward the red-haired girl behind the party. Even with its poor intelligence, it instantly determined that this hateful woman was the most dangerous one in the party!

Steeling its will and enduring the intense pain, the kobold strode forward and charged straight at the completely unprotected girl!

"Damn it, I didn't tell you to move!"

Letting go of the troublesome dagger, Xuan Sheng suddenly recalled a strange technique. He grabbed the Elite Monster by the shoulder and heaved with all his strength!

Omnipotence!

[Activating the fighting skill 'Shoulder Throw']

[Strength check! Passed! Agility check! Passed!]

[Will deal (Strength + target's Constitution) x2 damage! 'Omnipotence' takes effect!]

The notifications exploded in his mind. By the time Xuan Sheng came back to his senses, the kobold had already been sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground.

[-160!]

Was it... because of [Omnipotence]?

This fighting skill had instantly surfaced in his mind, and Li Xunsheng had used it almost instinctively...

In his daze, Xuan Sheng's thoughts stirred.

Just like when he had picked the lock earlier, these techniques would always pop into his mind... Could the essence of the two branch abilities, [Omniscience] and [Omnipotence], actually be mastery of every discipline??

"Ignite! Fireball!"

Still frightened by the kobold Elite Monster and secretly irritated, the girl swung her staff. Two scorching flames flew toward the fallen kobold.

[-170! -300!]

Ignite's continuous burning and the recently charged Fireball continued dealing damage, causing the Kobold Squad Leader's health bar to steadily drop.

After the Kobold Elite Monster's sudden burst of aggression, Zhao Jun was too frightened to keep trying to deal his single-digit damage. Instead, he guarded his sister, afraid that the creature would charge at her again.

"Gak!"

A strange, pained hiss burst from the kobold's mouth, but it did nothing to change the situation.

The enraged kobold raised its iron hammer high. Just as it was about to release a skill, Xuan Sheng, already right next to it, struck it with a straight punch!

[Gut Strike: Strikes the opponent's side, dealing Strength x3 damage and interrupting the skill the opponent is preparing!]

These skills, which should only have appeared after changing to a fighting-type class, kept appearing at precisely the right moments, allowing Xuan Sheng to use them with exceptional naturalness...

[-142!]

"Urgh..."

The blow struck its weak point, making the kobold's body go limp. Li Xunsheng then drove his knee straight into its head!

[-165!]

These fighting skills completely ignored the opponent's armor, directly dealing True Damage related to his own Strength!

This fighting-type class is way too powerful. Do they all ignore defense?

The instant this thought flashed through his mind, Xuan Sheng received a notification from [Omniscience]:

[The skill currently being used originates from the hidden class: 'Eight Arms', and is not an ordinary class skill]

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you won't lose it next time.

Tsk... no wonder.

The kobold, locked in close combat, seemed to have foreseen its own fate. It gave up on charging Zhao Min and instead shrieked as it pounced straight at Xuan Sheng, intending to fight to the death!

Unfortunately, the quick-eyed, quick-handed youth immediately picked up the round shield, abandoning any thought of attacking whatsoever...

The man who took caution to the extreme left the kobold with a blockage in its chest, making it feel terribly stifled!

In the end, after an unwilling roar, the Kobold Elite Monster went limp on the ground and transformed into experience and merit...

"Phew... it's finally over..."

Zhao Min collapsed to the ground, her back drenched in cold sweat. She no longer even had the strength to hold her staff.

On the surface, she had only consumed a little mana, but facing the charge of an Elite Monster had still left her with a considerable psychological shadow. Even thinking about it now made her feel a lingering fear.

"Brother Zhao, search the battlefield and see if there's any relevant information."

"Okay!"

Zhao Jun, who had done nothing useful at all, had been worried about having nowhere to stand. Upon hearing Xuan Sheng's instructions, he hurriedly began searching around.

"It dropped something. How do we split it?"

After calling back the lookout Yi Qing, Li Xunsheng pointed at the two-handed steel hammer that had not yet disappeared from the kobold's body and spread his hands.

He had no interest in something so cumbersome that required both hands, but if it was being given away for free, he would rather take it himself and put it up for auction.

"My brother is a two-handed warrior, and I contributed a lot just now too, so..."

Her voice grew quieter and quieter. Under Li Xunsheng's strange gaze, Zhao Min's face reddened, and she began to fidget.

After being saved once by the man before her, she, who had always been forthright, found it difficult to argue now... Besides, her brother was originally the greatest beneficiary of this operation—and he was also dead weight...

"Giving it to you isn't a problem, but you'll have to write an IOU."

"Mhm, mhm!"

Yi Qing had been somewhat hesitant at first, but after hearing Xuan Sheng's suggestion, she nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"All right, then this hammer..."

[Kobold Battle Hammer: Lv.8 Two-Handed Warhammer Blue Attack Power +120 Strength +6]

"How much is this hammer worth?"

Unable to think of a price, Zhao Min awkwardly brushed back her hair.

At the beginning of the game, who would sell rare blue equipment? The auction house only had some scammers listing white equipment. There was practically no one willing to sell blue equipment.

But if they went by the prices in the town's NPC shops, it would be no small sum...

"Just keep track of it for now. Once we have a rough price later, you can repay me with interest."

In any case, once Zhao Jun recalled his comrades, there would be so many of them that Xuan Sheng wasn't worried about them running off. Besides, he wasn't short of money for the time being.

"What about Qingyi?"

"Sure."

Yi Qing hadn't contributed much when fighting the Elite Monster, but she could still receive a share of the Gold Coins and experience. Naturally, she was willing to accept this outcome.

"Good news, everyone! I found the quest target! Eh, what were you talking about earlier?"

Holding a slip of paper, Zhao Jun ran back excitedly.

"Nothing... Bro, you're going to be carrying a huge debt from now on."

Pushing the blue two-handed warhammer into the stunned Zhao Jun's arms, Zhao Min pursed her lips in annoyance.

If this brother of hers had been more capable, she wouldn't have lacked confidence when fighting over ownership of the spoils.

"What does the quest information say? Hurry up and tell us."

"Uh, okay! It says they came here only to excavate some ancient ruins."

A glance at the chat panel was enough for him to know what had happened. Zhao Jun gave Yi Qing and Xuan Sheng a grateful smile, then continued discussing the quest.

"The ancient relic they are excavating should be extremely important to them!"

If you can't find it by searching the book's title, try searching for the author's name. Maybe it was just renamed!
